McDonald's has decided to end its AI-driven drive-through ordering system after numerous errors led to incorrect orders, such as hundreds of chicken nuggets, ice cream with bacon, and a handful of butter. The initiative, conducted in collaboration with IBM, was tested in over 100 drive-thrus but failed to meet expectations due to frequent order mishaps. This decision, announced on Thursday, raises questions about the viability of AI in fast-food ordering. Additionally, McDonald's plant-based burger tests in San Francisco and Dallas have also failed, with the company's US head Joe Erlinger citing a lack of significant demand from diners for plant-based options.
A McDonald’s test of its plant-based burger in San Francisco and Dallas “was not successful in either market,” Joe Erlinger, the chain’s US chief, said Wednesday. https://t.co/mU8q0sG9f0
Yeah so as McDonald's ended this test two years ago and still no nationwide McPlant it's fair to say that it failed. But that was evident at the time. https://t.co/VYqF2bSfaz
